When Norman Granz brought two major Jazz stars into the recording studio for the first time together in 1956, the results were never going to be less than enjoyable. To have supreme song stylist Fitzgerald in tandem with the man who virtually invented Jazz singing must have been a dream ticket for impresario Granz who, in his lifetime, recorded nearly all of the musicians who helped shape the music. This amazing gatefold 4LP set includes the albums ‘Ella And Louis’, ‘Ella And Louis Again’ and ‘Porgy And Bess’.
